Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Clips Epi172: Esperantin' About Soundcasts

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

Saluton!
How's everybody out there? This IS Succotash, the Comedy
Soundcast Soundcast, and I AM your host, Tyson
Saner. Once again, I am bringing to you this tasting plate
of different soundcasts from around the English-speaking parts of
the world.

In case
anyone is following along at home, I am still learning Esperanto
with Duolingo and I can now read much more of it than I
ever expected to be able to. I don't get much practice speaking it
but who knows, maybe I can find a community of Esperantists who are
also soundcasters…

Anyway,
I've got clips for you from these fine soundcasts:
Podcheese, The LIL Show, Who Charted?,
Talking Without Thinking, Trevor Has Friends and
The Joe Rogan Experience.

I've
also got a single shot of raging moderate Will
Durst's Burst O' Durst segment. You can
follow Will on Twitter @WillDurst or, if you're in the San
Francisco Bay Area, you can catch him on stage live in a
performance of "Durst Case Scenario: Midterm Madness". That's on
June 30th at Rhythmix Cultural Works in Alameda.

And
this episode of Succotash is sponsored by Henderson's
Pants new Pushover Pants.

Well,
are you ready for the clips? I hope so because, here they
come…

CLIPS

Talking Without
ThinkingHosted
by Scott Lowder, Jason Eckard,
Jarrod Carpenter, and Sean
Atkins, iTunes tells us that Talking Without
Thinking is "A weekly comedy podcast that answers the tough
questions like "Are Eggs a Meat?" or "What Would We Do Without
Google?". Our clip come from Epi29: "Sci-Fi Inventions That We Wish
Were Real".

Who
Charted?Hosted by
Howeard Kremer and Natasha
Leggero, Who Charted? was originally featured
back in April of 2013 on Epi56 on Succotash, before
co-host Kulap Vilaysack took a powder and was
replaced by Natasha. The show's official description:
"Howard Kremer and
Natasha Leggero bring on some of your favorite comedians to discuss
the top 5 songs and movies of the week. Plus, Howard, the guests
and Who Charted crew each bring a new song that they
recommend over all the garbage on the charts." The clip we're
featuring includes guest Jen
Kirkman.

PodCheeseThe
last time we clipped the PodCheese soundcast was way back
in Epi54 ofSuccotash, in 2013, but the
awesomeness continues with Benny and
Whacky Josh blasting out of their underground HQ
to take on the world's problems, armed only with their wit, charm,
and beer. In our clippage, they are guested by Steve
Rees of the Passive Aggressive Hour
soundcast.

The Joe Rogan
ExperienceFeatured
several times before on this show, The Joe Rogan
Experience was first clipped way back in Epi5 in 2012 with
co-host and firend-of-SuccotashMark
Pitta. The snippet I have for you now is from a recent
show in May, when Joe's guest was filmmaker/soundcaster/auteur and
heart attack survivor Kevin Smith. He shares some
details about his mental state as we was going through that
life-threatening situation.

The LIL ShowIn The LIL Show,
"LIL" stands for London Improv Live, a live, weekly improv
comedy show on K2KRadio.com edited down for your soundcasting
pleasure. The host, Talal Karkouti, is joined by
co-hosts Alex Sievewright and Luc
Valvona. Our clip is from epi115 entitled "Little Maggot",
featuring Merlin's Beard, the official improv team from the
University of Kent.

Trevor Has
FriendsSoundcast
Trevor Has Friends has been around for a couple of years
now, having kicked off the first episode in 2016. A part of the
Savage Henry Magazine Radio Network, Trevor Has Friends is
hosted by Trevor Lockwood with co-host
Jame Couture and in this clip, which is from a
show that dropped just last week, they welcome one of Humboldt
County's original comedians as well as the editor of Savage
Henry Magazine, , Dutch
Savage.

And
that's what's in store for your ears. Thee highs and lows, chuckles
and tears…or maybe that's all just my subjective reaction to this
content.

Remember,
I don't just feature clips, I also listen to the entire episode of
whatever soundcast it is I'm sampling. In some cases I become a
semi-regular listener but there really isn't enough time in the
world for me to listen to EVERY episode of even my favorite
soundcasts when I want to.

Such is
life. "Time in a Bottle" and all of that…

I'm
certainly not complaining however because of how enriching it feels
to hear people talking and sharing information with each other
often not knowing if anyone outside of the room - or wherever their
soundcast is being recorded - is even listening. However, because
of the nature of this show and my role in it there is a chance that
I am, or will, or have at least once. And perhaps part of your show
will become part of a future show of ours…or maybe it already has
and you're about to furiously comb our archives at www.succotashshow.com to figure
out which episode of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast
Soundcast YOUR soundcast was featured on. I have no
idea.

Whether
or not any of those scenarios apply to you, you're either reading
or hearing this now and that makes me happy. If you go to www.tysonsaner.com It will make me
even happier.

So
until next time, I will be on the verge of ecstasy if you could
find it in your heart or perhaps just in your busy schedule to
please pass the Succotash…
